Morgagni Herniation Tion In A 73-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report

Introduction: The majority of adult diaphragmatic herniation s is due to a chronic hiatal hernia or caused by a diaphragmatic herniation. Compared to other different forms of congenital herniation s, Morgagni herniation s are relatively rare. Here we introduce a case of a 73-year-old woman diagnosed with Morgagni Herniation and the choice of treatment used for the patient. Case report: The patient, a 73-year-old woman, presented with abdominal pain with the onset of 10 days prior to her visit. In the chest x-ray silhouette sign on the right side border of the heart was seen that suggested a Morgagni herniation as our primary differential diagnosis. The patient was discharged 3 days after the operation. Conclusion: Studies show that a Morgagni herniation should be a differential diagnosis for any patient that presents with unspecific abdominal pain or respiratory symptoms.
